The marking buoy is ~ 150 yds off and needs to be right on top of it. All us fishermen been say’in this for years. Coast Guard needs to get off their A and do something. It’s a wonder it’s not happening more frequently. Dumbazzez.

At high tide you cannot see the bow or stern of the USS Massachusetts, at low tide you can usually see both ends. It would be so nice if someone could put a 20’ PVC pipe with a flag on the pole at both ends of the Mass so we could see it at high tide, especially if the Coast Guard won’t do it. There is a red beacon on the south side of her, but it’s still possible to hit her if you’re not careful. I actually anchored right in the middle once not knowing I was in the middle till the tide went out and I heard a swishing sound! Anyway hope some divers could attach poles with flags on her.

A good fact of life to remember is when you go into serious water such as this, you go to the bottom of the food chain.

Glad the CG rescued these folks. That boat should be salvaged and put back to good use. Such a waste if it just remains underwater. Does insurance cover this?

Oh WOW!! First of all, very glad everyone was rescued. Second of all, such a shame to see this boat sink. My parents had a 35 foot cabin cruiser, when we were kids growing up in the fifties, sixties, and seventies. We went out into the Gulf, just about every weekend. So much fun. When dad finally sold the boat, a month later, the idiots that bought it ran aground with it and it sank, and I can remember crying knowing that beautiful boat was beneath the water. Just glad everyone got off safe.
